So normally we dequeue/enqueue tasks in sched_setscheduler(), which
would ensure the accounting stays correct. However in the early PI path
we fail to do so.

So this was introduced at around v3.14, by:

  c365c292d0 ("sched: Consider pi boosting in setscheduler()")

which fixed another problem exactly because that dequeue/enqueue, joy.

Fix this by teaching rt about DEQUEUE_SAVE/ENQUEUE_RESTORE and have it
preserve runqueue location with that option. This requires decoupling
the on_rt_rq() state from being on the list.

In order to allow for explicit movement during the SAVE/RESTORE,
introduce {DE,EN}QUEUE_MOVE. We still must use SAVE/RESTORE in these
cases to preserve other invariants.

Respecting the SAVE/RESTORE flags also has the (nice) side-effect that
things like sys_nice()/sys_sched_setaffinity() also do not reorder
FIFO tasks (whereas they used to before this patch).
